AWARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING PR0RM4E (LR) GAS WATER HEATERS:
Propane (LR) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in
the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements,
crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when
ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as
pockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before attempting to
light or relight the water heater% pilot or turning on a neaiijy
electrical li^t switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulat­
ed gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground
level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow
steps indicated at “For Your Safety” on the cover page of this
manual then leave the premises.
Lighting and operating instructions are located on front of the
water heater, above or to one side of the gas control valve.
